5-star Oregon Football target teases major news
5-star Oregon Football target teases major news
The Oregon Ducks could be getting some major recruiting news in the near future.
On Friday morning, 5-star cornerback Brandon Arrington, one of the top prospects on Oregon's recruiting board, took to social media to tease some "big news" coming soon. This comes just days after taking an official visit to see the Alabama Crimson Tide, and a week after taking is OV to Eugene to see the Ducks.
Arrington stands at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, and is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 10 player in the 2026 class and the No. 1 ATH. From Spring Valley, California, Oregon has been recruiting him heavily for a long time now and is projected as one of the favorites to land him.
There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for Arrington on 247Sports, but the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Texas A&M Aggies as the heavy favorite to land the 5-star player, with Steve Wiltfong logging a prediction all the way back in October of 2024.
We will see what Arrington's "big news" is at some point this week, but there should be some confidence among Oregon fans that it is positive for the Ducks.

Oregon football picks up prediction to land fast-rising QB in 2026 class
Oregon football picks up prediction to land fast-rising QB in 2026 class Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are gearing up for what looks like an eventful summer of recruiting, with a potential hot streak not far off. With a number of 5-star and blue-chip prospects on campus this month for official visits, Oregon is in line to boost its 2026 class majorly. On Monday, they saw a prediction come in for them to get a valuable member of the class, too — fast-rising quarterback prospect Bryson Beaver. Few players in the nation have had as busy of a week in the recruiting world as Beaver, who was committed to the Boise State Broncos as a 3-star less than a week ago. However, Oregon offered him last week, and he has since seen his rating bump up to a 4-star on On3, received offers from a pair of SEC schools, and taken visits to the Ole Miss Rebels and Alabama Crimson Tide. It came out on Monday that Beaver was taking an official visit to Oregon this coming weekend, and 247Sports recruiting analyst Blair Angulo also logged a Crystal Ball prediction for Beaver to commit to the Ducks. Beaver's rating on 247Sports is far below where On3 has him, leading to some debate about where he currently stands in the recruiting world. While On3 rates Beaver as a 4-star prospect and the No. 19 QB in the 2026 class, 247Sports has him as a 3-star and the No. 71 QB in the class. Regardless of what the ratings say, Oregon is obviously intrigued by what Beaver brings to the table, and they want him as a member of their 2026 class. The Ducks are also in on 5-star QB Ryder Lyons, who took an official to Eugene last weekend. Lyons is going to decide between Oregon and the BYU Cougars in the near future, but he is planning to take an LDS mission out of high school, so he is more like a member of the 2027 class.

Former MSU QB calls out Big Ten rankings that snubbed Aidan Chiles
Former MSU QB calls out Big Ten rankings that snubbed Aidan Chiles Popular college football analyst for CBS Sports Josh Pate released his top 10 quarterbacks of the Big Ten, and a former Spartans signal caller had an issue with the list. Pate's top 10 quarterbacks list for the upcoming season left off Michigan State's Aidan Chiles -- which initially grabbed my attention as surprising to see. It also was alarming to former Michigan State starting quarterback Brian Lewerke -- who took to social media platform X to call out Pate. Lewerke called out Pate's list as "not very good" and noted that his feedback wasn't just because of Chiles being snubbed. You can see Lewerke's response and Pate's top 10 list in the post below: As I said above, I also was not a fan of this rankings from Pate. In my opinion, Chiles ranks as at top 10 quarterback in the league, with the potential to be a top five quarterback should he approach his ceiling. Last year, Chiles showed inconsistency but as a first year starter that was expected from him. Ironically, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola had comparable numbers to Chiles and he was ranked as the No. 6 quarterback in Pate's list while Chiles was left off. These type of lists are not ultimately a big deal and just used for fun offseason discussion. But I enjoyed seeing a former Spartans quarterback looking out for the current guy wearing green-and-white under center.

Michigan football adds former four-star quarterback Jake Garcia via transfer portal
Michigan football adds former four-star quarterback Jake Garcia via transfer portal So Michigan football added two quarterbacks this off-season, third time may just be the charm. Of course, the big fish in the quarterback room is former five-star Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall recruit in 2025, but with Alex Orji transferring to UNLV, Jayden Denegal also transferring out, and Davis Warren still recovering from the injury he sustained in the ReliaQuest Bowl, the Wolverines felt like it was imperative to add another arm to the room, just in case. Enter Jake Garcia, the former Miami Hurricanes, Missouri Tigers, and East Carolina Pirates quarterback. The Wolverines announced on Monday that the former four-star signal collar has signed with the team. Part of the 2021 class, Garcia has never quite lived up to his recruiting ranking. A 6-foot-3, 195-pound quarterback as a recruit from Whittier (Calif.) Grayson, Garcia was a high-end QB in the class, ranked No. 48 overall according to the 247Sports Composite (he was No. 23 player according to ESPN) and the eighth-best quarterback in the cycle (by comparison, in the same class, J.J. McCarthy was No. 25 overall and the fifth-best quarterback). Here are his stats per year:
